We were all issued with shiny new wheelie bins recently. It turns out that the council secretly fitted them with microchips so that the amount of waste you create can be monitored. :freak3:

They claim there are no plans to charge people for waste removal based on quantity. Really? Why sneakily embed these chips in the bins in first place then?

We have also told that to remove or tamper these chips in any will result in prosecution based on damage to council property plus the cost of replacing the bin. What will be next??

This country is going downhill fast now the Stalinists know they can't be stopped.

Don't worry UB, the wheelie bin vigilanties will be around your way soon :D

You must have got these as well as you live near me. Typical of our council to pull a stunt like this. :mad:

:Suspiciou, I'd best investigate tomorrow

I've decided to boil mine in the microwave then refit it.

I don't have a bin chip YET, but if one appears I'll take Yve's advice :D

Rob; if you want to make an omlette you have to break some eggs!

Er but what happens if you are not flying but dropping off or picking up are you going to get tagged then so you can go into the airport? I know it says passanger but surely non passangers are just as dangerous? if so what info are they going to have on you bearing in mind you will not have a boarding card or anything? Plus you don't get a boarding card until you check in so how are they going to give you the tag? is it as soon as you walk through the door into the airport or when you check in at the desk?

If the latter then the first statement in my quote is incorrect. Can you imagine the queues at the terminal door if they tag you on entry!!

and if you do not check in then how will they know you are there???

the whole thing has more holes in it than a block of Leerdammer :D

If I understand it correctly, you'd get tagged when you check in. They'd issue a boarding card with an embedded chip and with your photo printed on the front and you'd be tracked from that point onwards as you progress through security control and to the departure gate. It wouldn't affect people dropping off friends/relatives and helping them with their luggage to check-in.

Sounds reasonable to me, if it helps security run more smoothly in the airports. After having to wait in line for 4 hours to check in for a flight to Europe, anything that helps is fine by me.

What kind of an omelette would you like this country to become GC8?

Wouldn't a terrorist simply remove the wrist band, then walk freely around the Airport undetected, while planting his bomb ?

Why would someone intent on killing others and himself at the same time give a flying fcuk about being tagged in the airport? :rolleyes:
